Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2-2 lb stew meat
1 large can enchilada sauce
2 beef bouillon, cubes
1/2 can(s) refried beans
5-7 burrito sized flour tortillas
cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

1. In crock pot put beef, enchilada sauce and bouillon and cook on low 7-8 hours (or high 3-4), until beef is fork tender.
2. When beef is done taste and add salt if needed. Heat up refried beans and put oven on broil. On oven proof plate or cookie sheet place tortilla and 1/2 cup of beef and spoonful of beans.
3. Roll into burrito and pour enchilada sauce over to completely cover. Sprinkle with cheese and broil until cheese melts.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, flank steak, or skirt steak are all excellent choices for smothered burritos. These cuts are flavorful and tender when cooked slowly.
Season the beef well: Before cooking, season the beef with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to develop flavor and depth in the finished dish.
Cook the beef slowly: The key to tender, fall-apart beef is to cook it slowly over low heat. This can be done in a Dutch oven on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce for smothered burritos is typically made with a combination of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices. Be sure to cook the sauce until it is thick and flavorful.
Assemble the burritos: Once the beef and sauce are cooked, assemble the burritos by filling tortillas with rice, beans, beef, and sauce. Top with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Smothered beef burritos are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give smothered beef burritos a try!
